the Grand Gendarme on the Arête des Cosmiques with the summit of Mont Blanc straight behind
The thin line on the sunlit face of the Gendrame is Digital Crack, Europe’s highest 8a climb (3800m) and one of the hardest climbs in the Alps
The other peaks are Mont Blanc du Tacul, and Mont Maudit

Just now I am away from home. Away, that is, from the comforts of a whirring PC equipped with all the Raw processors and image tinkering widgets that digital photographers like me use to cover their creative weaknesses (also known as delusional fun ;) ).
I had decided to give the Macro Mondays theme (Fingertip(s)) a miss this week and have a well-earned rest.
And I was doing so well… Then this morning it all started to unravel. The tremor came back, the feverish but cold clammy skin, the restless tics, the pallid visage in the mirror (I don’t think the pallor was caused by what I saw though!). It was that familiar Flickr addiction taking over again. (Am I alone?)
So here we have a selfie-finger lit by my trusty LED penlight, which I think is turning out to be the most useful and cost-effective bit of photographic paraphernalia that I have ever acquired. The torch is pressed against the finger; you can just see it at the bottom (I hope that counts for the theme :( ).
Just for a bit of gory detail: taken in a cupboard in a rented cottage somewhere in Wales using my little camera. Processed from the in-camera Jpeg using the remarkable free online editor Pixlr with my Chromebook web browser. I haven't much clue as to what, quite, I did to it...
Good fun… and I’m happy to report the trembling has almost stopped :)
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. HMM :)
